Einige davon sind jedoch nicht so sauber und schön wie sie sein sollten!

Und der Fehler liegt nicht in der Natur, es sind wir die Menschen die rund um den See leben und die Natur mit unserem Müll verschmutzen, insbesondere Plastik, Ballons, Flaschen usw. nach dem Grillieren.

Die Tierwelt rund um den See

Wir beobachteten Enten und Schwäne, die um die verschmutzten Seeufer herum schwimmen, und wie wir alle wissen, und am Fernsehen und social sites sehen, leidet die Tierwelt rund um den See darunter durch diese Verschmutzung.

Unsere Verpflichtung

Nachdem ich im Laufe der Jahre in 8 Ländern gearbeitet und gelebt habe, habe ich viel Vernachlässigung und Umweltverschmutzung erlebt. Die Schweiz ist eines der schönsten Länder in dieser großartigen Welt, man realisiert das wenn man zu vielen verschiedenen Zielen gereist hat. Deshalb ist es wichtig es für die jüngeren Generationen schön und sauber zu halten.

Eines der schönsten Länder dieser Welt

Wir können uns nicht nur darauf verlassen, dass die Regierung unsere Pflichten und verantwortlichkeiten  übernimmt und erfüllt, es liegt an uns allen, an der Schönheit dieses großartigen kleinen, Landes teilzunehmen!

Mein Gattin und ich haben entschlossen, den morgen am letzten Samstag  von jedem Monate zu widmen, um alle Artikel wie Plastik, Papier und Metalle entlang des Seedorf Ufer-Areals aufzuheben.

The Beautiful Lakeside of  Canton URI !?

However, A few of them are not as clean and beautiful as they should be!

and the fault does not lie within nature, it is us the folks living around it polluting nature with our garbage, especially plastics, balloons, bottles, etc.

The Wildlife

We watched ducks and swans swimming around the dirty, and polluted lake shorelines, and as we all know and have seen on social sites, wildlife feeds suffer through that pollution.

One of the most beautiful countries on this great Planet

Having traveled and lived in five countries over the years I have seen a lot of neglect, waste, and pollution, Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries in this great world of ours, and one realizes that even more after traveling to many different destinations, that is why it is important to keep it beautiful and clean for the younger generations.

Our Responsibility

We can not just rely on the government to do our duties and responsibilities, it is up to all of us to participate in keeping up the beauty of this magnificent little country!

My spouse and I decided to dedicate one morning on the last Saturday of each month to picking up all debris such as plastics, paper, and metals along the Seedorf Shoreline area.

Thanks to Patricia and Denny’s artists from 25 nationalities were able to show their talent by displaying their art during the Artbox Project exposition in the Euroairport exhibition hall in Basel, Switzerland from June 14th -18th.
We saw some amazing pieces of art ranging from paintings to photographs to sculptures.

The winner was Philip McKay with “Ride the Storm”

The 19 finalist where: Ela Goldman, Juliana Bratanova, Earthstone Chu, Roland Müller, Brian Smith, Wang Yang, Gus Bawab, Natalia Marinych, Lujmani Palugava, Mathias Waske, Yvonne Welman, Andrii Abhinava Chernovil, Sailesh Sanghui, Maura Patricia Zoller, Matteo Germano, Dermita Klasser, Caterina Rancho, Denis Delauney, Ilze Jaunberga, Alan Luck, Silke Mohrhoft, Sauna Myrhtner, Chris Kelch, Caroline Helfer, David L. Scholes, Mania Efstathiou, Patrick “Blaetti” Blatter

The Organizers

Artbox is the brainchild of Patricia and Dennys. Patricia has been an artist for many years now and has participated in many different art exhibitions, even after great success in Switzerland with several TV, Newspaper, and radio appearances she has noticed that it is extremely difficult to establish yourself in the art market and get the people to know your art.
For that reason, Patricia and Dennys wanted to give talented artists, who have not been able to establish themselves in the art market, the opportunity to be a part of such a big exhibition as it would be impossible to realize for most artists considering the costs involved.
The first Artbox project was held in March 2016 with the planning of the Miami 1.0 project.
The expos were always held during the Art Basel artworks in the same location Miami, Basel, and Hongkong, but they are not directly affiliated with them.
Patricia and Dennys are planning on similar projects in New York next year, after that, they are looking into the Asian markets as well.

Getting Ready for New York!

The final winners and their art, plus the 500 plus Art pieces from all the participants were presented on a big screen for 5 days and during a cocktail party on June 16th in the exhibition hall, where we enjoyed Prosecco and hors d’oeuvres and some very unusual sounds playing in the background! The musician was playing a cordless type of instrument by moving his fingers above it, almost like a wifi-operated contraption. That was something we haven’t seen yet!
It was an enjoyable evening with great art, food, and music!
We are looking forward to the next event, and on behalf of all the new and upcoming artists, we thank Patricia and Dennys for their efforts and dedication to the art world!
